I just wanted to add a little something about uPlaya: Not only do you get the scientifically-proven analysis of the song (Hit Song Science), you get a package of promotional tools to promote your song (and if you score highly, share the positive feedback with the world via the Web). Promotional tools include contests/talent searches, marketing widgets, electronic press kit, a music blogger portal (music bloggers can discover music from high-scoring songs), music discovery games for Facebook and the iPhone, and more. All of the features allow talented artists who’ve gained credibility from the HSS technology to get a leg up in the industry. Check out all of them at the uPlaya website. Thanks for the helpful info!
